    I’m not that guy, but someone from science_memes will be here shortly to advocate for the many wonderful qualities of wasps for some reason.

    I guess they’re also considered pollinators? And . . . some of the species aren’t psycopathic murderous bastards? Or something.

      They kill pest insects. They’re voracious hunters. And they are the only insect that pollinates figs.

      How’s that?

      Amazing how even asshole wasps manage to be more useful than MAGA creeps. There’s not a single useful thing they do for anyone or anything. Hell, they even shoot dogs!

      Some social wasps are poor to middling pollinators. Some social wasps don’t pollinate at all. All social wasps are flying terrorists.

      Add some more bees and get rid of all social wasps.

      Solitary wasps are cool, though. They can stay.

        Nooo they kill pest bugs!

        Wish we could convince them to expand their repertoire and go after MAGA pests too…

          So do other species that aren’t evil incarnate!

          If we could change their behavior into leaving all humans except fascists alone, I could see the point of keeping them around, though 😁
